Commission frames C1 walkable downtown and C2 highway commercial districts
Summary
The commission proposed C1 for walkable downtown Main Street uses (restaurants, galleries, clinics and offices) and C2 for heavier, highway-oriented commercial uses. Members discussed shifting some historic commercial patches and industrial-distribution areas into C2 or F1.
Commissioners described two commercial districts during the Sept. 8 work session. C1 is proposed as a walkable downtown-commercial district intended for pedestrian-friendly uses along Main Street, such as restaurants, galleries, clinics, offices and small retail. C2 is a general/highway commercial district intended for heavier commercial needs and flexibility along major roadways.
Members discussed converting certain historical commercial patches and industrial/distribution areas into appropriate C2 or F1 designations. The commission emphasized tailoring C1 to support downtown pedestrian activity while allowing C2 to accommodate larger-scale and roadway-facing commercial operations; final parcel reclassifications will be refined after Council feedback.
